Been a little while since visiting. I've missed some posts... how can that be?!

Pardon me if these have been posted before but I'm a little weary from studies lately.

   How about THESE BSAs?




   


     


      While I know, This isn't shown as a Tracker, This 59' Matchless 600cc Typhoon just about has to be one of the most powerful "Thumpers" of it's time. I've seen them on the tracks back in the day and they were VERY impressive.

Well, as Bill points out in the post title some trackers here aren't Hondas. Which implies some are... like this one from the winter 08/09 issue of Motorcyclist Retro! ;D

Ya mean the Built Ta Go's? I thought there were some; someone, I think MCRider, mentioned them and some pix came up.

Can anyone make out the name on the case cover of the 'Chicago' bike? Still have to tweek the original image some.

edit: yeah t'was MCRider; look on pg. 6 through 8.

I'm going with OSSA for the Chicago bike but have no proof yet. It's a 2 stroke twin shock and looks to have the radial finned head........

With all due respect to my Jewish friends I think it might look better without the part that looks like the Star of David. Not bad but a bit fussy.
